Characteristics of the vintage
A hot and extremely dry year, marked by early ripening. Spring was cool and dry, with late bud break, followed by flowering at the usual time in early June. After the hottest and driest summer on record, the harvest began very early, at the end of August. Heavy rains at the end of September favoured the intense development of botrytis on already very ripe grapes, resulting in very aromatic, rich, and creamy sweet wines.
Harvest
The late September rains transformed the grapes into intensely botrytised noble fruit. Following a period of sunny weather that concentrated the berries through natural drying on the vine, we selectively harvested noble-rot-affected clusters across the entire estate between October 6th and November 3rd.
Vinification
The grapes were gently pressed, without destemming, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks.
Blend
100% Furmint
Maturing
The different batches were aged for an average of 18 months in the traditional underground cellar of Tokaj, in oak barrels of two-three wines. They were then blended and kept in stainless steel tanks until bottling in July 2025.
Tasting notes
Light golden in colour, the wine offers a fresh and fruity nose, with aromas of pear, greengage, pineapple, and citrus. The palate is lively and juicy, medium-bodied, with vibrant acidity and a delicate hint of elegant bitterness.

To enjoy Disznókő Tokaji Late Harvest to its fullest, serve cool (11-13°C). After opening, it can be kept in the fridge for two weeks.
Serving
Perfect aperitif both alone or with appetizers, chilled in summer on the terrace. Great with nibbles like prosciutto, olives, sun-dried tomato, pâté on toast, with main courses of seafood, fish, chicken and lightly-spiced dishes, goat cheese and fruit-based desserts.
Ready to drink from the moment of bottling and for the next five years.
